AJAXed WordPress (AWP) is a WordPress plugin that adds the power, usability and beauty of AJAX to any blog or WordPress based website. Its features improve the user experience, the administration capabilities and the design potential of any WordPress based blog. It works on all WordPress versions.

AWP has more features than any one website needs. It can display excerpts of posts and then load full posts inline, submit comments without reloading the page, thread comments to make those long discussions easier to read. AWP can even load an entire website without refreshing the page. These are just a few of its features because AWP is endlessly customizable and extensible. Best of all, you are never forced to use features that you don’t want. AWP is easily customized with its intuitive administration panel.

AJAXed WordPress is built by Aaron Harun who can be contacted through his website AaHa Creative.

Why do I need AJAX?

WordPress is a beautiful piece of software but it has its limits. For example, many band websites have music playing in the background. On a normal WordPress blog, a user can’t continue to browse the website while listening to the music. With the AJAX navigation features of AWP, the browser never refreshes the music.

On a more traditional WordPress blog, the website becomes quicker and more responsive when loading the index page and submitting comments.
